NEW YORK, Feb. 19, 2025 -- The International Education group at Cambridge University Press & Assessment (Cambridge) today announced that 45 students in the United States have received prestigious awards for their performance on the June 2024 Cambridge exam series.

These awards demonstrate students' extraordinary academic potential and celebrate the phenomenal support they receive from their teachers and schools," said Mark Cavone, Regional Director, North America for International Education at Cambridge. "Our programs are designed to provide academic rigor, foster critical thinking and problem-solving, and create a global outlook for students – all skills that are crucial for success in college and beyond."
